favorite meal of the day

whether it's dim sum in chinatown, a good ol new york bagel loaded with light lox cream cheese, or eggs benedict with a spicy bloody mary- brunch is a favorite for me. it is simply a wonderful way to start a weekend day- sharing an indulgent if not greasy (the best cure for a late night out) meal in the early afternoon with a group of friends.



the venue was stone park cafe in park slope- michelin referred and highly rated for their biscuits and gravy. . . actually, the reviews were so complimentary that i was getting nervous that i would be sorely disappointed. luckily, my concern was for naught. it was the best brunch i've had in a long time.

i ordered the hangfry- a frittata with oysters, bacon, vermont cheese, and the boy ordered biscuits and gravy, their signature dish, with a side of bacon*. my dish was pretty tasty though it would be improved by (1) better distribution of bacon and/or cheese or (2) more of both. the biscuits and gravy were quite delectable. the biscuits were perfectly light and buttery and the gravy was just rich enough.

all in all, a great brunch. . . and hopefully the beginning of many now that i have weekends off again!!!
